Bilobectomy surgery shows increased morbidity and a higher risk of local recurrence in stage I lung cancer patients compared to pneumonectomy. However, long-term survival rates remain similar for both procedures in stage II disease.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Bilobectomy's operative morbidity and oncologic value are debated.
  • A 12-year review of surgical experience was conducted to address these controversies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the operative morbidity and mortality associated with bilobectomy.
  • To assess the long-term oncologic outcomes, including survival and recurrence rates, of bilobectomy.
  • To compare bilobectomy outcomes with those of right pneumonectomy for stage-matched and age-matched patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 112 patients undergoing bilobectomy.
  • Analysis of operative mortality, nonfatal complications, and long-term survival.
  • Comparison of survival data with stage- and age-matched pneumonectomy cohorts.

Main Results:

  • Operative mortality was 3.5%; nonfatal complications occurred in 49% of patients, most commonly pleural space disease (34%).
  • For 96 patients with non-small cell lung cancer, the 5-year survival rate was 40%.
  • Stage I disease showed a significantly increased local recurrence rate after bilobectomy versus pneumonectomy (p < 0.05), but this did not impact 5-year survival. Stage II outcomes were similar between procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Bilobectomy is associated with increased patient morbidity.
  • A higher risk of local recurrence is observed in stage I lung cancer patients following bilobectomy, potentially due to understaging.
